In The Muppets on Puppets, a Volkswagen is used as a punchline. A Whatnot poet recites "Thirty Days Hath September". He ends it with: "All the rest have thirty-one... except for my grandmother who drives a Volkswagen." He ends up not understanding his own poem.

In The Muppet Movie, Mad Man Mooney tries to sell the Muppets a Volkswagen (calling it a "German street machine"). In The Muppets, a Beetle is seen at the same car dealership in nearly the same spot, over 30 years later.

Kermit was featured in a Volkswagen Convertible in a Tomy die-cast car.

On Sesame Street, Gordon and Susan own a pale blue Volkswagen, as seen in Episode 1056. In Follow That Bird, Gordon drives a yellow Beetle, most of which is consumed by Cookie Monster.

Volkswagen, with The Jim Henson Company, sponsored the Fraggle Rock Holiday Toy Drive Benefit at Kitson on December 9, 2009. A specially designed Volkswagen Routan minivan was on display. Tricked out to celebrate the "Fraggle Rock Forever" line, the van features Fraggles , Doozers, and even Sprocket in bold colors along the van.

The new Electric Mayhem bus used on The Muppets is a custom painted Volkswagen bus.
